Isn't the most red meat consumed also processed? Don't know. Just asking. If so it would make sense to use it in research.

Maybe? Probably most food consumed is processed... but the advice should then be, eat unprocessed food (salad, steak, fruit not fruit juice, ...) In addition, some ways of processing food are likely less harmful... e.g. pickling vegetables and drying meat (without using nitrites, such as certain traditional EU PDO meats like Prosciutto di Parma).

I think it was not so much to give advice as to answer the question.

Is that one thing that we are eating bad for us?
